Mon, 01 Jul 2013 21:06:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=112833#comment-2901530Interesting, they did remove it. Either way you should have used “now” rather than “still” in your post, as it was an option.

Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:50:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=112833#comment-2901525That’s a good point. I still wonder if they could move everything to C2DM and eliminate the need to have it constantly running.

Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:47:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=112833#comment-2901521Correction. It used to be an option. If it exists in version 4.0, I can’t find it anywhere. If you’ve seen it, can you tell me where to find it?

Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:46:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=112833#comment-2901520It can be changed in the settings…. And it’s been an option since forever ago.

Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:43:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=112833#comment-2901518So how does Hangouts get away with it?

Its a method that works really well, keeps things looking interesting, and helps make it so you don’t need to hunt down the settings menu (see new skype app).

Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:26:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=112833#comment-2901514Technically, google recommends having an icon like that for a background service. Android will eventually kill an app that does not have a notification icon, while it never will kill a service with a notification during general clean up.

Some services can run for a long time in the background, especially on newer phones, but they will eventually die. Skype probably doesn’t want that. I hate the icon too, but there you have it.
